⭐The first ever articles in Polymer Chemistry were published in 2009 with the first issue of the journal published in January 2010. As part of the celebrations for Polymer Chemistry’s 15th Anniversary, we are delighted to share our 15th Anniversary Collection, free to read until the end of 2025! 👉https://lnkd.in/eeJZfKe7 Read the collections Editorial 'Fifteen years of Polymer Chemistry' by Christine Luscombe and Maria Southall 👉https://lnkd.in/eqStpjDK “It has been inspiring to read through the papers in the 15th Anniversary Collection and reflect on how far the field of polymer science has come. The breadth of topics and contributions from authors across more than 15 countries highlights how Polymer Chemistry has become a platform for the global polymer community—linking ideas and people much like monomers in a growing chain. I’m excited to see how the next 15 years of polymer science will unfold. A big thank you to all our authors, reviewers, and readers!” - Editor-in-Chief, Christine Luscombe Christine's top picks from the collection include: "Bioderived copolymer alternatives to poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) via RAFT-mediated copolymerization" by Lauren Elaine Ball, Michael-Phillip S. and Bert Klumperman 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKHC4uq2 "Impact of imine bonds on the electronic properties of degradable carotenoid-based conjugated polymers" by Azalea Uva, PhD, Yaejin Kim, Sofia Michailovich, Nathan S.
